General information & background
 
This ultra-romantic gown is one of the superstars of our collection. Catarina is a masterpiece by Belgian couture designer Kaat Tilley. 
 
Tilley brought everything in her repertoire to this one-of-a-kind A-line wedding dress. Catarina is constructed from handwoven silk dupion, silk habotai, and silk velvet. (The silk dupion that Tilley used to make this dress is probably the most beautiful fabric in our whole collection.) Catarina features covered buttons with hand-sewn rouleau loops, a contrasting off-shoulder neckline made of silk velvet, a lace-up back, and pickups in the skirt.
 
Snow White was Kaat Tilley’s lifelong muse and inspiration, and that inspiration is obvious in this dress. It’s hard to imagine walking down the aisle in anything more romantic than this. Catarina is a quintessential example of what makes couture vintage wedding dresses so special. It was originally part of our founder's private collection, and we are thrilled to be able to offer it to our clients.
